Linus Gabriel Sebastian & Linus Media Group / Linus Tech Tips - Narcissistic corporate shill YouTuber driving his media empire into the ground. KILL COUNT: 2

[Nabeshin]

I have to think at this point Dennis is deliberately doing as much damage as he can because white man won't fire yellow man.

Based, Linus is the only famous CEO guy to be retarded to the point where he mix company business with his personal.

Now I hope he will began to learn that you shouldn't mix both

LTT has very much been living solely off of brand recognition, he and mkbhd have become the face of tech youtube and have made millions already, thats why he's able to still grow and maintain an audience despite his content in a state of decay and his complete lack of intelligence and integrity.

He crafted his image as a brilliant business guy who is still the same nerdy but nice guy as he was a decade ago when he was working at ncix.

The same can be said for LMG, to the public it seems like the best job to work for with great pay, workplace, and benefits, with a dream boss.

It's explicitly made to be the opposite of the cynical and depressing image of you're average job. Shit hours, shit boss, shit pay, etc.

Speaking of work environment.

Out of curiosity I decided to search up LMG on glassdoor (which should be taken with a grain of salt)

And the reviews weren't exactly positive about the company.

The top one sounds realistic with how many of the OGs has left the company. NickyV, Terran. Lovely unique people but lets face it outside ltt its not like they are the most skilled people in the world if they are willing to leave comfy deskjobs at LTT then the pay must be ass.

The second one sounds like a malding thot, its not coherent and quite frankly stupid. How much can soyfilled nerds really harrass you as a woman in freaking Canada? For fuck sake the average height is like 5 foot 5.

Look whos in the comments!

Jake is much worse for being an arrogant smartass imo, I can at least handle Linus' bullshit.

He's also the type of person to let you know he drives a BMW any chance he gets.

I couldn't find the video but Linus showed that Jake wears leather BMW driving gloves around town.

Very valuable for learning all the things not to do!

Exactly right

 

[Polarity]

well that's a shame because its the first time I've ever enjoyed linus and crew.

Yeah, that was stupid but enjoyable. There's a reason you have insurance for shoots. Linus clearly mixes business and pleasure, so he self-insured and is enraged his money making venture has some costs. Lucky Dennis didn't decide to call it quits after the fall, call an ambulance, and sue for half a million there after hitting his head.

The weirdest part is how messy that house is. Recycling bin just stuffed full, kids just watch media content all day, garbage, toys and filth everywhere. Instead of doing chores they go do karate (lmao), yoga and play video games after the kids are in bed. Imagine knowing someone is going to show up to film your house and not putting an any token effort to try to clean it up beforehand.

Jesus. At least hire a house-keeper or nanny for the McMansion if you can't spend any time adulting. Why is Yvonne working full-time doing basic business tasks when you could hire that out to someone extremely competent for <=200K? They'd rather live in a hoarder house and have their kids raised by a daycare? Linus is the face of the channel, so his sacrifice makes sense, but Yvonne seemingly not raising their children is bizarre.

Just sad honestly.

I don't think he wants the rest of his cats to die.

If it's a 7-series, then he should have his ass kicked. I wouldn't be surprised though, he doesn't look cool enough to drive an M4 Competition.

 

[Kheapathic]

I don't know who's big-dicking who; Linux has spent the last year and a half or so talking about his screwdriver... and their video today is sponsored by iFixIt, where they shill the Moray and Minnow set. Hopefully this isn't gonna end up with Linus putting a hit out on Louis Rossman.

 

[AnimuGinger]

I think we're going to end up with Louis making a video about Linus and his warranty stance at some point. Not sure when it will be, but Louis has called him out in the past, and even if Linus has given some level of support to something he believes in since, Louis isn't exactly afraid to make a ranting video about something. And now, he has fuck you money backing him.

Or he'll be pragmatic enough to realize that the Linus-worshipers are retards who will take sides blindly and keep his mouth shut. One of these two things.

That's one of the reasons that I don't have any hope for the labs.

He wouldn't dare to say shitty things about Samsung, LG, Corsair, razer and more as he will not be able to get the latest high-end LG TV for free to his kids

cant recall which stream but Linus did mention his revenue from sponsors is dwindling cuz "manufacturers are afraid of his criticism" . which is retarded if u look at other tech youtubers and their sponsors.

and cuz of that he is trying to expand her merch stuff.

 

[JoseRaulChupacabra]

Has anyone actually found a use for bags that are hundreds of dollars that a bag half or a quarter of the cost can't do? Outside of specialized use cases like expecting it to take on the elements or cushioning camera gear? Like everyday stuff like going to work/school?

He's also the type of person to let you know he drives a BMW any chance he gets.

This is news to me. Didn't know Mersh was now part of LTT.

Speaking of, given all the recent developments, it's only a matter of time when Porsalin does one for Linus.

 

[MechanicalHugbox]

I don't know the scope of The Lab, but it sounds like they need an experienced, engineering generalist to help build and hire.

Good luck finding an Engineering Generalist willing to put up with

• Low pay
• subpar equipment
• having a camera shoved in their face
• Manic bosses
• Zoomer shit

The only ones I can genuinely see sticking around for even the interviews are actual zoomers raised on his content but unless Canada is worse than I think it is they should be able to find a much higher paying job even if they refuse to look outside their local area without half these downsides

Go and look in the "people are dying" thread chinks don´t care about there offspring...

They're almost certainly aiming for fresh grads and cheap headcount. For your first job, you really want to put in some effort and learn from experts.

Not sure what you're going to learn at LTT other than how to start your career in a dead-end winner-takes-all field: streaming.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

• Low pay

I wonder what Gamer Nexus pays. They seem to live in a cheaper area of the country(North Carolina) so a buck goes further there than SF, NY or Vancouver when it comes to living costs.

 

[Flaming Dumpster]

Look whos in the comments!

Looks like the Project Farm thing might be happening for real.

In other news, container shipping delays may blow out the bag delivery timeframe. Apparently they put some slack in the estimates but it might not have been enough.

(source)
The ticket queues are still fucked so this escalation by @'ing the COO shit is still constantly happening

(source, source, source)
They're also having another mini PR disaster on Reddit, this time relating to bad quality hems on their (typically USD$20) t-shirts.

Spoiler: Some replies from the thread

 

[Kosher Dill]

I don't really know much about LTT, but this whole situation baffles me. How many different types of chinesium are they trying to pass off as quality products at once? Shouldn't everyone involved - the buyers, the sellers, the middlemen, the Chinese orphans swan-diving off of Foxconn's roof - know better? Who's kidding who here?

"At price of $250 is this LTT Backpack. 22 pockets. 25.5 liter carrying capacity. YKK zippers. Water resistant lining. Triple-rivet-reinforced top handle which can hold up to a pull force of 175lb... we're gonna test that! The LTT Backpack is made in China."

At least we know Todd means it when he says all of his video ideas are viewer suggested.

 

[batigol]

No idea how much experience LTT has with Chinesium since they went all in on new suppliers and not using American Apparel or whomever it was for shirts.

My professional experience is that the quality can be good if you pay for it and have your own employees checking 24/7 to make sure the quality is good. Soon as you take your eyes off, no-matter how good the prototypes were, any consistency in the quality goes to shit. Some of it will be good, but a lot will be varying degrees of bad. It's pot luck what you end up with as the consumer.
